Only a guess, but you could try to buff it out or use some steel wool. It'll never look like new with either approach, but maybe "dull" out the scratches some.

Bummer man!

 

I feel your pain. I did the same thing last year with my stock 20's.
At first you have to take the pain & accept it. You can get it repaired, but sometimes it could be as much as a new rim (in some cases) Solution= I am waiting to put on a new tire size- 305/50/20 for more rim protection. I still have the damage on the rim. I try not to look at it.

 

Syeth,

Having a rim re-chromed could cost almost as much (if not more, depending on quality) as the original cost itself. I'm really sorry man. (or lady)

Just put part of your next paycheck to good use I suppose. Get a new one and keep smiling..
